This probably won't happen before the school year ends, but once summer starts I am going to re-watch every episode from start to finish.

I think a lot of bronies need to do this. We need to re-discover why we love this show so much. Collectively.

No more pony-politics. No más.

Just ponies. True, down-to-earth, untarnished ponies.

I eagerly anticipate this 'adventure' I will be taking. I think it will help me in many ways.

So things are very busy this semester (if I haven't already made that clear), so obviously I've been writing slowly for that reason. My goal is to get a new story out by the end of the semester (in essence, the end of April), but I need to be realistically thinking about my music schooling as well.

I hope my next effort is enjoyable!

I've been spending a lot of time on new material lately, but nothing is very... quality, if you know what I'm getting at. I only publish things that I'm happy with and are of a good quality (a few exceptions being made with three of the stories I have on here, considering they were earlier stories I only keep around because I still get a like here and there). That's really the key word here, quality. None of the concepts I've been starting have really been amounting to anything very original or entertaining, but I am still trucking along. I'm still reworking No Matter How Dark, but I may try to write another oneshot or two within the next month, just to keep my mind focused.

I'm sure this statement gets beaten to death around here during this time of year, but I still have college to focus on. Even on my off evenings, I need to practice and do homework (why the hell did I decide to be a music major...). I'm beginning my secondary composition lessons as well, so I need to spend time writing music as well. In addition, I'm in five ensembles this semester (two concert bands, chamber choir, a steelpan ensemble, and a jazz band).

All things considered, I'm still very attached to my fanfiction. I'm very passionate about it... even though I haven't uploaded anything in... oh, five months.

Wow, that's longer than I thought.

I gotta get crackin'.

AHHH!!!

I go to Northern Illinois University and am a part of the marching band!!!

Screw all the haters, WE'RE GOING TO THE ORANGE BOWL, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHH!!!!! *inhuman noises*

Okay... back to ponies...

A good friend of mine colorized a sketch I did for "Don't Cry, Dear"

It looks really good!!!!!

Here is my story...

Ever since my computer died.... I haven't been able to work on fanfiction at all.....

....I think......

.......I'm....

..suffering withdrawls......

In my current endeavor to make myself somewhat of an artist-type person, I decided to use today's Artist Training Grounds prompt to do a bit of No Matter How Dark concept art.

Hope it doesn't suck!

Artist Training Grounds day 5 prompt is to draw a filly, or a tiny pony. I took this as an opportunity to do a little sketch for "Don't Cry, Dear"

Hope you enjoy!

My computer's had a foot in the grave for the past few months now, and today it finally died.

Well, the OS died.

Either way, it won't turn on.

I'm working on getting a new PC, but at least for the next week or two I will have absolutely NO progress on fanfics (because I'm using my dad's laptop right now).

I will, however, still be keeping up with the Artist Training Grounds, so if anypony would like to head over to my DeviantArt page to see my progress, that would be cool and stuff. I'd be happy to do the same to you!
